My question is there a way to arrange the on screen buttons? Like for Home Back and Recent apps?
The 3 main navigation buttons on the phone. Is there an app that will let us change the button order or add a button? Is there a Rom that will let us do that? I ask because I have the LG G2 and it will let you re-arrange the buttons anyway you like. You can have 4 buttons or three. You can have the home button first or the back button...or any order you choose.
Does anyone know of an app or a Rom for the Moto X that would do that?

It's a relatively easy mod if you are rooted. What order do you want? Post your framework-res.apk, SystemUI.apk and SystemUI.odex and I or someone else can do it for you.

motoxposed might have something for this i believe. but maybe not. just check the thread out. im sure its in there. there are a lot of nav bar customization i believe
I am new to android and moto x. When swiping up from the home button i have a shortcut to jump into google search. Is there a way to add other shortcuts to this menu? I feel like there should be but I can't quite find the setting. I'm running the stock launcher. Thanks.

It can be done with cm11, also try gravity box, I do believe there is an option in quick settings? You need to be rooted and have xposed framework installed

Add qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 in build.prop to enable nav buttons.

use a root file explorer and navigate to /system/build.prop
So usually I can add qumu.hw.mainkeys=0 on the build prop, or download softkey enabler app and it usually adds soft keys after a reboot. But now if I do EITHER of those, it just says system ui crashed and I gotta press ok and then a second later it pops up again. and again.
I added soft keys on my S4, S5 and my M7 before and I never ran into this. Does anyone else have any solutions? I don't really like those pop up types, I like the stock android soft keys.
whats wrong with the soft keys that are already on the phone?
Gravity box will add the soft keys and give you some customization options as well

I thought Gravity Box was AOSP only?
I am on the note 3, rooted TW rom but have been running gravity box and wanam for months. Many are using it.

I installed it and can't even enable it. It says it cannot open it on the Note 4
That's not good news. I was planning on upgrading to the note 4 soon. Developer may have to update the module. Sorry it didn't work.
Didnr work for me gravitybox kk newest version

I also tried, wouldn't work
I tried on Dynamic Kat and Hyperdrive roms and still had the same problem =( I actually like using soft keys because I feel like the hard keys are harder to reach when using one hand.

Did you come up with a solution to enable softkeys? I'm in the same camp.
What about the built-in softkeys? Settings -> One-handed operation -> Side key panel?

They work but just want them on the button. That's what I'm used to.

I found GMD Auto Hide Soft Keys but I noticed a drop in my battery life ever since I started using it.
It can auto hide or keep it there forever but it does get in a way with some apps like when you try to text or type it's right on top of the space bar

Thanks for the suggestion. It is now showing Android 5.0 symbols after I unistalled the app. Weird. I'll show you a screenshot.
I could not figure out how to enable soft keys and after uninstaling app the Android 5.0 soft keys showed up. Really weird.

Is it working? and what launcher are you using?
I would love this too. I like having a little bit of bezel at the bottom that I can hold (without hitting buttons), but the Note's capacitive keys are just in the way. I don't mind the Home button and would leave that enabled (maybe bound to something else if possible). Another reason is that I'm left-handed and HATE the "back" button being on the right side instead of left (which I'm used to since all of my previous devices were set up like this -- Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 4, Nexus 7 (2012), Moto X (2013), Nexus 7 (v2), and LG G2 w/modded keys).
Lastly, I really like adding additional navring options besides the built-in Google Now shortcut. There must be a way to get the default Android on screen keys with root and xposed, right? I hope someone figures it out!

Maybe install it again and lay with the settings, it took me awhile to get to what I really wanted. The descriptions were not that great lol. Took a lot of trial and error's

Were you able to fix the problem of it overlapping the keyboard?
Is this possible with the stock ROM?
Would like to be able to remap the multitasking key as a menu key.

There's no native ability to re-mpap the keys. THe only modification available is to allow long pressing the recents key to replace the 3 dot menu in apps.

Just found it in Settings... Display
Looks like it just adds the menu functionality with long press without removing the 3 dot button in menus so best of both worlds.
